July 3 News, Dangdang in Tianjin this morning announced the opening of the "Galaxy No. 1th" Warehouse, in the conference site, Dangdang and the four-pass Logistics Express Company signed a strategic cooperation agreement. Dangdang vice President Zhiyu said Dangdang will not build logistics, since the construction of logistics is the electric business channel sank to the three or four-line city nightmare.
Unlike Jingdong's own logistics, Dangdang is currently using the "warehouse self-built + inter-city cooperation with the city" mode: When the construction of Warehousing center, but the distribution of this link to Yuantong, Shun Fung, Chengtong and other Third-party Express Company, third party Express from when the warehouse delivery.
Why should there be two reasons for not building logistics? Dangdang:
1. Save Cost

The channel sinks to the three or four line the city becomes the consensus of the current electrical business development.
Channel sinking is one of the important strategies of Beijing-east this year, in addition to the three to six lines in the city carried out a large-scale advertising, Jing Dong in this year to screen distribution staff to establish distribution stations, expanding in the three to six line of the city distribution system.
For the Beijing-East distribution method, Dangdang does not agree. Zhiyu that the three or four-line city market is not only the future of the electric business, but also the nightmare of logistics.
